Halfords advert:
Not sure if this has been mentioned but i would of thought that Halfords would of edited out the Rolf Harris lookalike splashing water on his face as the kids ride past on their bikes! :eek:
Actually any of these Halfrauds ads with the " get on your bike" theme seem to be counter productive. Very strange ideas on what sells things, quite eerie and disturbing.
Sky. A gormlessly grinning ex-footballer waving in front of a computer generated audience "cheering". I am not giving any of my cash to Murdoch or to Beckham, no matter how often they screen it.
Go Ahead bars - So cringeworthy.
Aldi ads with middle class women saying what their favourite product is - shut up, we all know you shop at Waitrose.
ITV Corrie & Emmerdale "fairytale" advert - cringe, annoying cover of the song 'Tainted Love'.
Birdseye - "I'm taking a picture of my dinner to send to Tom so he can get some ideas" "Aww you guys are so cute". No!
Worst advert? How much time have you got? There are dozens of awful ones >:(
Pregnancy test one where two girls are at the kitchen table. So, you peed on a stick and carted it into the kitchen to show your friend? Nice. No wonder she is going to cry.
Patronising cow on the Secret Escapes one. YOU go.
Stupid grinning bitch on the Trivago ads.
Thankfully the painful "anything for yow cup-cake" one seems to have vanished.
That bloody HSBC advert with the smug kid flogging lemonade has reappeared "I also take Hang Kang dalllars.." and then speaks to the woman in Cantonese...
Report the little madam to the Securities and Exchange Commission....

Somersby Cider. 16 pip, 32 pip, interface. I bet the marketing team really thought they had hit the jackpot with that idea.
This thread should be retitled,'favourite advert'. Most adverts annoy me. Fail to get the message over and some I just can't remember what the product is they are trying to sell.
What gets me is how so many adverts treat the customers/viewers as being plain stupid. Some are patronising, condescending and appeal to some marketing teams idea of a stereotype.
"Chicken Fat" (also known as "The Youth Fitness Song") is a 1962 song written by Broadway composer Meredith Willson (The Music Man......
Used in school gymnasiums across the United States, "Chicken Fat" was the theme song for President John F. Kennedy's youth fitness program. Willson contacted Fitness Council administrator Dick Snider with an offer to write a song to be used to promote exercise for children."

After hearing that song no wonder so many American citizens ended up with an aversion to exercise, I'd have ended up a fat f*cker too if that was played to me as a kid.

At least (some) Americans will have recognised the song and it's history. Why have that song on an ad shown in Britain? It means nothing to us here at all, and we certainly don't use the term 'chicken fat' in that context, so they're either clueless or they don't give a stuff. I wondered what the heck it was going on about when I first saw it >:(

Is it for O2? I thought it was for iPhone? I don't actually take notice as it just gets me annoyed.

Cool, may have to go to Morrisons then
Because she says "Here Harold", calling him over to drink his tea after the dog has drank it. Duh!

Don't get me started on Co-op prices.
You can get AIDS whenever you want though!
And don't bring up that they've got the Champions League - they don't have that until the 2015/16 season.
